This festival arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner is scored for SATB choir (divisi) a cappella. The lush choral writing breathes new life into this old gem, and offers some unexpected harmonies. The piece begins in the key of B major. At measure 25, it modulates to G major, quite by surprise, and becomes more broad, returning to B major for the rousing finale. In addition to 4th of July celebrations, this work can be programmed as an opening or closing number on any spring concert. Ideal for community and college choirs!
